I show a quick, easy though expensive method for finding port tuning frequency, then an inexpensive/more complex method which is equally reliable.

Required for Cheap test-
Audio source with clean test tones
Amplifier
Multimeter capable of measuring AC voltage (most digital)
1 Ohm resistor (several watt suggested)
Alligator leads may come in handy to connect components
Pen/Pencil
Paper
Calculator
Clamp meters can be inaccurate for low currents, so I'd suggest measuring voltage across the 1 Ohm resistor.
